I had a wonderful stay at Daru Sultan Hotels Galata, with very nice views of the Golden Horn from my room and the rooftop terrace. The design of the hotel, inspired by Ottoman themes, added a unique touch to my experience. However, the housekeeping could use some improvement, as I noticed some cleanliness issues in the bathroom during my check-in.

Staying at the Daru Sultan Hotels Galata was a mixed experience for me. The location is fantastic, close to the bustling Istiklal street and Galata Tower, and the stunning views from the rooftop are hard to beat. However, I found the service lacking, and the room I stayed in had issues like mold and a malfunctioning mini-fridge, which really did not meet my expectations for a hotel advertised as 5-star.

The room decor was themed after sultans, which was charming, but I faced cleanliness issues. My shower had mold, the air conditioning was noisy, and the maid service barely replaced toiletries during my stay.
